Al Jarina mosque, Ottoman mosque in Downtown Haifa, Israel

Al Jarina Mosque features a minaret resembling an English clock tower, standing prominently against the modern buildings of central Haifa.

Constructed in 1775 during the Ottoman period, the mosque received its clock tower addition in 1901 to honor Sultan Abdul Hamid II.

The mosque takes its name from the large stone yard that served as a grain storage area for exports through the Haifa Port.

The religious structure stands a few hundred meters east of Paris Square, with restricted entry maintaining its primary function as a prayer space.

The mosque underwent extensive restoration work in 2011, led by the Al-Aqsa Foundation to preserve its structural elements and religious significance.
